Inhaltsangabe
From the number one New York Times best-selling author of Yes We (Still) Can and cohost of Pod Save America, a sharp political playbook for how Democrats can take on the right-wing circus dominating American politics.
There is nothing more important than beating Donald Trump in 2020, but defeating Trump is just the start of this timely book. Un-Trumping America offers readers three critical insights: first, Trump is not an aberration, but rather the logical extension of the modern Republican Party; second, how Democrats can defeat Trump in 2020; and third, preventing the likes of Trump from ever happening again with a plan to fix democracy.
While the catalog of the president's crimes is long and growing, undoing Trumpism - the political platform of racism, authoritarianism, and plutocracy that gave rise to Trump and defines the Republican Party - is a long and continuing fight. Through a craven, cynical strategy engineered by Mitch McConnell, funded by the Kochs, and fueled by Fox News propaganda, Republicans have rigged American politics to drown out the voices of the people in favor of the powerful. Without an aggressive response that recognizes who the Republicans are and what they have done, American democracy as we know it won't survive this moment and a conservative, shrinking, mostly white minority will govern the country for decades.
Un-TrumpingAmerica dismantles toxic Trumpism and offers a way forward. Dan Pfeiffer worked for nearly twenty years at the center of Democratic politics, from the campaign trail to Capitol Hill to Barack Obama's White House. But it was Trump's victory and Republicans' incessant aiding and abetting of Trumpism that has radicalized his thinking. Here, Pfeiffer urges Democrats to embrace bold solutions - from fixing the courts to abolishing the electoral college to eliminating the filibuster - in order to make America more democratic (and Democratic).
Un-Trumping America is a powerful call for Democrats and progressives to get smarter, tougher, and more aggressive without becoming a paler shade of orange.
Kritikerstimmen
"[Un-Trumping America] lays out the path for Democrats to save the day, not by beating Republicans at their own (dirty, he convincingly claims) game but by, like, actually doing democracy." (Booklist)

Honestly, not nearly as good as his first.
I really liked his first book. So I was looking forward to his second book quite a bit. unfortunately it feels like you have heard most of it before. Maybe may fault and a little unfair, given that Pfeiffer lays out most of his views weekly on PSA. However, while listening I was constantly wondering what should be the takeaway. It reads more like a wishlist rather than a to-do list, given that most of it will most likely not happen. I would have appreciate a less gloomy more inspiring message, like in his first book. On top of that the audio quality is not great. If you haven't listened to his first book, start there.

Revealing the shocking state of the American democracy
This book provides shocking but very valuable insights into the dramatic state of the US democracy. As hard as it might be, especially when knowing the difficulties after having listened to the audiobook, we have to keep fighting for a more just system. People like Dan Pfeiffer give hope that it can work!
